en rigtig god måde at kickstarte sådan et projekt er ved Appfuse (
https://appfuse.dev.java.net/) eller light-udgaven Appfuse Light (
https://appfuse-light.dev.java.net/).
AppFuse is an open source project and application that uses open source tools built on the Java platform to help you develop Web applications quickly and efficiently. It was originally developed to eliminate the ramp-up time found when building new web applications for customers. At its core, AppFuse is a project skeleton, similar to the one that's created by your IDE when you click through a wizard to create a new web project.
AppFuse 2.0 has been released! Now with support for Maven 2, Java 5, JPA, Struts 2 and many other goodies.
AppFuse 1.x uses Ant to create your project, as well as build/test/deploy it. AppFuse 2.0 uses Maven 2 to create your project as well as build/test/deploy it. IDE support is much better in 2.0 because you can generate the IDE project files with Maven plugins. AppFuse 1.x uses XDoclet and JDK 1.4+.
AppFuse 2.0 is a restructuring of AppFuse 1.x to use Maven 2 and JDK 5 and annotations. The major reasons we've changed to Maven 2 are:
Dependency downloading
Easier maintenance (everything can be compiled at once)
Easier upgrading for end-users
If you'd like to help out or ask questions about AppFuse 2.0, please do so on the user mailing list. If you'd like to use AppFuse 2.0, see the demos and videos and use the QuickStart Guide to get started.
New features in AppFuse 2.0:
Maven 2 Integration
Upgraded WebWork to Struts 2
JDK 5, Annotations, JSP 2.0, Servlet 2.4
JPA Support
Generic CRUD backend
Full Eclipse, IDEA and NetBeans support
Fast startup and no deploy with Maven Jetty Plugin

AppFuse Light is a simpler version of AppFuse that allows you to use Maven 2 or Ant for building/testing/deploying.
